One woman felt slighted after her siblings ganged up against her when she respected their father's wishes and refused to share her inheritance with them. The brother and sister had cut contact with their dad after wasting a combined $300k advance on their inheritance that he gave them to start businesses, and then never agreed to give them any more money.
Meanwhile, their other sibling had taken charge of caring for him at the end of his life. As a result, she was the sole recipient of his estate, and his will explicitly stated that her brother and sister were not allowed any more of it. They threatened to sue when she didn't give them some of the money, and she wanted validation for standing her ground.

38 and 40-year-old get disinherited for spending $300k of father's money, get offended when sibling won't share her inheritance with them: 'I was the one who was there for him'
Nobody is closer than family until money gets involved.
When it comes to the list of things that commonly cause rifts between relatives, anything to do with finances has to be somewhere near the top. Whether it is a parent helping their kids get on their feet or somebody has left behind a controversial will, mixing money and family has a lot of potential to go wrong.
Nonetheless, the financial aspect of those family ties is something that usually can't be avoided. This is especially true when somebody passes, because any capital that they have accumulated has to go somewhere. Assuming that they haven't given away their life's work to charity, it is almost always going to be split between close relatives and loved ones. Who gets included in that, and the amount of money and assets that they get, has plenty of potential to cause arguments in even the most peaceful of relationships.
